The Night Walker Page #4

---

it wasn't much I could do.

You have no idea how good

it looks to me.

Oh, your clothes

were delivered too.

I knew you'd want

to arrange them yourself but...

- I hung 'em up anyway.

- Thank you.

Well...

I better finish up

with my customer,

- we'll be closing soon.

- Run along.

- Miss Trent.

- Hmm?

You look tired.

Are you sure I can't fix you

a cup of coffee?

No, I'll be alright.

Well, what about dinner?

I'm not worried about food.

All I want

is a good night sleep.

Well, I'll tell the girls

not to disturb you,

and as soon as we finish

we'll close up.

- Thank you.

- Okay.

Irene.

Irene.

Irene, let me in.

Let me in.

YOU!

Who are you?

You know me.

We've seen each other

many times.

Surely, you're not afraid,

not of me.

We know one another

too well for that.

I don't even know your name.

Dreams have no names.

Dreams?

It's happening, isn't it?

It happened before.

This is what you remember,

isn't it?

Where am I holding you now?

Close in my arms.

Please, darling,

don't ever leave me.

I need you.

- Mrs. Trent. Wake up.

- Hmm.

- Oh!

- Are you alright?

Yeah. Was I talking in my sleep?

No, but you were

a little restless.

I've been looking in on you

all morning.

- All morning, what time is it?

- It's eleven o'clock.

You must have been very tired.

But you should have called me.

What about the appointments?

I took care of them for you.

Oh, and I made you some coffee.

Oh, I almost forgot.

There was a call for you,

Mr. Barry Morland.

What did he want?

He said he'd tell you

himself tonight.

He's picking you up here

at six o'clock.

Thank you.

- Relaxed?

- Um-hum.

That's the secret of my success

with women.

Sometimes they get so relaxed

around me they just fall asleep.

Barry, tell me something.

Why haven't you ever married?

- Who says I'm not.

- Are you?

That's a very leading question.

Oh, stop being the lawyer.

Just answer the question.

You're perfectly safe with me.

- I wonder.

- What do you mean?

Well, you're

a very desirable woman,

and a very rich one.

And at the present time,

very vulnerable.

What else do you see?

Oh well, there...

There is a man in your life.

Tall, about six feet,

black hair, blue eyes,

unmarried,

who's very attracted to you.

Does that answer your question?

Suppose I told you

that you had a rival.

Another man?

Barry, you might as well know

I have seen him again.

Who?

Last night he came to the shop,

I was asleep.

I saw him, touched him.

He spoke to me,

held me in his arms.

What are you talking about?

You seemed ready enough

to believe

that I had a lover

when Howard accused me.

But you said yourself

that was only a dream.
